JailhouseBabe

That's an idea worth pinching
(I will not spend the next 2 hours searching for free paper downloads; I will revise for my exam on Thursday!)

Rustyflange - a really striking card - the colours are fab - you are super organised!

Abusybee - lovely cards, I think my favourite is the butterfly - very classy!

Furrypig - it would be great if she joined in on the challenges.

Well done Rustyflange very quick off the mark!! DD has started her male card already as it's her dad's (my DH) birthday in Feb, she even got her friend cardmaking with her yesterday!!

i'll have to have a look through the stash and see what I can come up with!

lovely cards Busybee too!

Well done winners,

Dnt think I will join in the next one, I have never made a male card before so would not know where to start. I will have a think about it and see what I can up with. I have drawn a boy recently so might see what I can come up with.

Also just an idea, how about a card swap?

Love the idea of a card swap!!!

Brilliantly simple card Rusty. I have been racking my brains this morning how to go about a male card but thinking in a complicated way and you have just made a brill one without the complication. This thread is great for giving you a different perspective on things. Thanks all.

Well I have been busy all morning while the kids have been at school and have knocked up another three. Hope you like them. And thanks for the kind coments on my other cards.

I know what you mean about a different perspective, I see cards on here and always sit and think about how I could do something similar! I lack inspiration most of the time so sometimes just sitting flicking through other cards is fantastic for ideas!

Oh my word abusybee, you've posted even more - you're on such a good creative roll . I think my fave is the middle one cos I love how you've placed the frames one on top of each other. Did you cut those yourself or buy them?
